I agree, it captured the classic Star Wars atmosphere so well, with the story, the characters, and the feeling of the virtual cockpits. The Corellian freighters are a blast, with their power, versatility, and automated turrets---they may have actually been my favorite part! (Yes, I played TIE Fighter, but XWA is where it's at IMO)
@@hotcakesism I totally agree. That "Star Wars original films" sense has never been matched. It was like really being part of the films, and never seemed to be a forced storyline. Thanks for your comment. May the force be with you.
Have you ever heard of the great game Rouge squadron 2: Rouge Leader? I thought not. It’s not a game the old heads would tell you. It’s a game cube legend.
@@thenotoriouskid1736 Yes, I actually own one copy. As well as Rogue Squadron for the N64. Great games, but nothing to do with this one we are talking about. Here you are in full control of the ship, being able to jump into hyperspace and ending in another planet without loading. Rogue Squadrons are good games, but X Wing series and Alliance takes the cake.
I just notice the green targeting display is now actually functional! The cockpit as a whole looks vastly improved since the last time I tried out the mod. Well done to the team
Huh? That is irrelevant. You should have used a much smaller size font and moved the writing up to the top of the screen so it doesn't obscure what you are trying to show us.
First time I got a look at the model of the Nebulon B for this game. Interesting way to add the hangar it is supposed to have. And I really do want the strike cruiser to be made cannon.
One thing that concerns me about squadrons is whether the flying will feel too responsive. Also the sky lighting seems too colorful compared too these older games
I love how accurate this cockpit is! You got the orientation of the Primary Display Monitor over the targeting computer! And the placement of the power management display is closest to the correct version too! Did you use source books as a reference to where everything goes?
Honestly, I don't even care about the rest of the graphical updates, I could even live with vanilla graphics... but the cockpit is just gorgeous, while the "holo display" of the original XWA was kind of a disappointment at the time; i just loved the simple, functional cockpit of previous titles, and this one here is a marvelous modern take on that
So many good memorys. I would pay so much to get a sequel to that game, don't mind the graphics just let me expierience the post endor time (legends of course) like the thrawn campaign and continue the azzameen story line (which ended with kind of an cliffhanger)
Glad to see those OP transports are nerfed.. I died so many times to them.. and command kept on telling me(Azzameen) that I was a disappointment on my first mission, even though it was me who was fighting to the bitter end after everyone in my flight died
It _is_ going to have VR support! If they maintain a good frame rate then XWA will probably be worth a buy. Although I've never played it I still remember the original advertising on the crowded London Underground which went something like: _If you think getting to work is a battle, just wait till you get home!_ over a picture of X-Wings and Tie Fighters in a shootout (;
With the last update of effects and that, FPS are very inconsistent now, when Capital ships are in sight, ryzen 5 1600, is there any problem? Hmm Yours seems flawless, even tho, new cockpit and hud it's incredible O_o
the problem is new objects that consist of too much surface. There is no problem with old obejcts. For me, the key thing is good textures, not the number of polygons. For my cockpit, I reduced the number of polygons in favor of texture quality and cheating the player's eyes with more 3D details drawn, instead of increasing the number of polygons.
Where can I find that new Hyperspace effect? Because I have installed all the available packages from the Upgrade website, except for the beta effects, and it's not there? So it's in the beta effects?
Was noticing that when you were selecting parts on that primary target, it does not mention what parts were being targeted? Engines, Guns, Shields, etc? Is there a key to match target speed as in the old TIE Fighter game?
You can see the "part" of the ship next to the display in the center bottom of the screen. Also, I believe the original XWA had that button - so you should have that here too since it is the same game.
The ships need way more speed and colors other massive ships to fly by action happening and TURBO burst available for escape maneuvers on our ships ...
@@SWArtisticTeam I got the same issue, TIE can blast X wing in less than 1 second, and the cruiser's fire is deadly as hell. And don't you eve think to come at a distance to the armed transports. They will rip you apart before you can blink. So the update made my XWA suddenly very chalenging.
Squadrons is only sh.. when you compare it to XW vs TF or XWA. It is a scam. Laser position make nothing, you can bump destroyers or other ships, you don't explode. And laser charge is a joke. They also make HUD for no brains and noobs.
@@laboyeurdechaine7913 It is a console game first...also VR gameplay has to be simplified. It would be hard as hell to map every XWA button to a hotas or a game controller.
@@desertsoldier41 This. And even if it wasn't a console game first but a multi-platform ordeal, a game needing to also work on console controllers puts unfortunate restraints on triple-A game design.
Get a SSD dude seriously.... 2020... cheaper than HDDs (??!!). Jesus. Also your frame drops are not only caused by a HDD lol... It's far more complicated than that.
its cool and all but setting up and configuring it theres so many options and shit it could take hours to read thru and fully understand everything and who has the time to do that? haha jk
FINALLY MY FAVORIT GAME REMASTERED BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING..
Alliance is the best star Wars space Shooter there will ever be.

@@dsambernardo I disagree. But to each his own. Too bad factor 5 is no longer in existence to make RS 4
This game filled my adolescence with happiness...
WTF! I have to replay this again! The best X-Wing game there ever was! Thanks for doing this!
"Primary target update...they've been 'destroid'..."
I just notice the green targeting display is now actually functional! The cockpit as a whole looks vastly improved since the last time I tried out the mod. Well done to the team
Thank you.
I love how the first minute of footage is completely covered in giant blue text
Unfortunately, I don't speak English, that's why the subtitles took so much space.
Huh? That is irrelevant. You should have used a much smaller size font and moved the writing up to the top of the screen so it doesn't obscure what you are trying to show us.
It does look amazing by the way!
You guys did an amazing job with these upgrades. Having a blast playing again-it's like a whole new game! Keep up the awesome work!
Wow way to breath new life into this great game.
I cant wait for this to come out. I just started playing the original one again!!!
Great to hear.
Looking very nice, it will be awesome to play with a VR set.
First time I got a look at the model of the Nebulon B for this game. Interesting way to add the hangar it is supposed to have. And I really do want the strike cruiser to be made cannon.
Disney needs to hire you so we can finally get a proper remaster.
You are right
Disney wouldn't and couldn't handle it right. We're better off upgrading our old X-Wing/TIE Fighter games from the downloads.
Great, but I have one question, was the primary target destroyed?
Just finished squadrons. This is now next.
Is it wrong that I was most annoyed by the pilot wasting a proton torpedo at 2:26?!?!?
I'm sorry.
Indeed, the vessels aim for warheads too.
One thing that concerns me about squadrons is whether the flying will feel too responsive. Also the sky lighting seems too colorful compared too these older games
This is AMAZING! :D
pretty cool!
i've gotten the mod it's super super good, but i don't know how to have the clean hud x(
beautiful
Keep your eyes open!
I love how accurate this cockpit is! You got the orientation of the Primary Display Monitor over the targeting computer! And the placement of the power management display is closest to the correct version too! Did you use source books as a reference to where everything goes?
Yes, source book was my inspiration.
That was my first disappointment in the original. The x-wing cockpit...
Excellent.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Looks amazing. Let me know when you are done!
So, did they use the Squadrons engine for this?
So many good memorys. I would pay so much to get a sequel to that game, don't mind the graphics just let me expierience the post endor time (legends of course) like the thrawn campaign and continue the azzameen story line (which ended with kind of an cliffhanger)
their shields are out
*t h e y ' v e b e e n d e s t r o y e d*
also, this looks amazing.
When does this come out?
Glad to see those OP transports are nerfed.. I died so many times to them..
and command kept on telling me(Azzameen) that I was a disappointment on my first mission, even though it was me who was fighting to the bitter end after everyone in my flight died
My dream is to play Updated remade X Wing Alliance with VR Support. I would buy a VR Headset just for that.
They’re coming out with Star Wars Squadrons in October this year which is basically an updated version of these AND it has crossplay and VR support
It _is_ going to have VR support! If they maintain a good frame rate then XWA will probably be worth a buy. Although I've never played it I still remember the original advertising on the crowded London Underground which went something like: _If you think getting to work is a battle, just wait till you get home!_ over a picture of X-Wings and Tie Fighters in a shootout (;
@@cardcounter21 That is so awesome, time to go VR headset shopping!!!
Is the engine sound normally that high pitched? There's like a constant ringing sound
this is normal, i already had this in the original version
With the last update of effects and that, FPS are very inconsistent now, when Capital ships are in sight, ryzen 5 1600, is there any problem? Hmm

Having the same issue. I am unable to get stable FPS.

You have to change parameter in the hyperspace.cfg file in XWA root dir. from Disney style to ROTJ sytle (0 to 1)
@@SWArtisticTeam Thanks so much :-)
XWA originally ran on Dx7 I think.
Did you enhance it to Dx11 or something?
with current changes dx11 is required.
@@SWArtisticTeam Wow, impressive!
God i hope star wars squadrens is like this. Cant wait for gameplay reveal trailor tomorrow. Hold my beer

nice! but still some mission are unballanced, so you cant pass throw...
Well this is probblem with the modders.
The ships need way more speed and colors other massive ships to fly by action happening and TURBO burst available for escape maneuvers on our ships ...
What?
I just found out this exists and I love it, the only issue I have is that the hangar locks up for me
everything is fixable :-). Thank you.
Exelent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today i've downloaded the last version but it's not the same, whats the name of the package?
This modification are made by me and it's not yet available public.
I played this level two weeks ago. My squad were all killed off in, like, the first two minutes!
Well in my version and original is pretty easy (as it should be).
@@SWArtisticTeam I got the same issue, TIE can blast X wing in less than 1 second, and the cruiser's fire is deadly as hell. And don't you eve think to come at a distance to the armed transports. They will rip you apart before you can blink.
